The school itself is very good. The classes are challenging, and the teachers are mostly good at what they do. The house system is very fun and good for getting everyone in the school involved with school culture. Hartley does an excellent job at getting juniors and seniors ready for college, even if it is a bit stressful at times. I do think the administration can be a bit lenient about certain issues, but overall, it's a pretty decent school.
